My problem with “systems fiction” is that it sounds too much like “System Fiction” a la progression fantasy. Same issue with “loopfic” (reminds me of time loop stories).
Possible alternatives:
Borgesian science fiction
strange loop stories
axiomatic fiction
imo a good description of Alexander, Borges, and Chiang, but a poorer description of Stephenson, Stross, qntm, and Bjartur.
